Answering questions about life in post-grad
Happy Wednesday, friends! Hope it has not been raining consecutively for 5 weekends straight where you are. Maybe the sun hasn’t been hiding its face for you. At least, I hope not. While I’ve had a few blogs be more about my life, my favorite blog posts to write are all about my thoughts. This … Continue reading Church, peace, and butterflies
Life has been CRAZY lately. The ups and downs have been wild. I don’t think I expected schoolwork to take up my whole life the way it has. I feel like I’m either in class or doing class work and trying to make plans with friends has been next to impossible. All in all, we’re … Continue reading grad school day in my life
Well folks, sometimes life hands you a bad hand. This blog post was supposed to be a recap of a trip I had planned for months, but NYC transit flooding meant that I stayed home. So instead of sharing with you the wonder of a new place (the trip is now set for next spring, … Continue reading i like their thoughts
Something my reporting professor said in early September made me realize I want to be a writer. I’ve always wanted to be a writer. But the funny thing about that desire is that it’s under the heavier ones. Ones like having a job and having people understand what it means to do the work you … Continue reading an inner voice makes itself heard
Romantic love is capacious. And I mean that not in the mystical sense - it cannot contain anything or everything and it is never without conditions - but rather it is capacious in the daily way that any expression of love might also express trust, doubt, regret, resignation, humor, self-congratulation, or sacrifice. Love can contain … Continue reading the stories we tell about love
One of the posts I’ve been looking forward to writing as a Columbia student is a morning routine. I love morning routines! Even though (if I’m honest) my morning routine hasn’t changed a ton since I was in undergrad at UVA, I am still writing this for memory's sake. Tuesday, September 5, 2023 Every morning … Continue reading a morning routine | Columbia chronicles
To take a little break from the Columbia content, I figured I’d introduce you to the stories and words that have haunted me. I love reading and even though these days, I mainly read on the train from Brooklyn to Manhattan (or vice versa). I wish I could read more for pleasure, but I’ve been … Continue reading writing that haunts me
As life has changed a fair bit lately (read my Life Update post if you don’t know), I also need to update my 2023 rule of life. I am probably not going to add anything because life has gotten super busy but we’ll see. Here are some ideas I’m playing around with. Walks Since my … Continue reading revamping my rule of life 2023
If you are confused about the headline to this post, you probably missed the last one. Here it is. You should totally check that out. I am in a new season and it feels exciting, and so the most natural thing is sharing it all with you! I’m calling this year of grad school the … Continue reading orientation | Columbia chronicles
This is it. This is the post we’ve all been waiting for. Walter Bishop at the beginning of Fringe, “So much has happened here, and so much is about to.” So it is in the spirit of Dr. Bishop, I continue. *screams excitedly* It’s almost mid-August and I’m writing this on a Sunday. I don’t … Continue reading Life Update of August 2023
There’s a delicious shiver of anticipation when you’re going on vacation. You feel it as you pack, eager to land in a new space and just breathe. You notice it when you’re scrolling, looking for activities or restaurants that you now know you have the potential to stumble upon. It’s there as you begin your … Continue reading vacation in the poconos
Lately I’ve been reading Wendell Berry, trying to figure out why he is so beloved and to gain a greater understanding of his views of the world. It’s his fiction that I’ve enjoyed. His stories about Port William are a reminder of the Avonlea and Mitford I long for. These stories are written in the … Continue reading Vocare, a call to place
